The Meek With Teeth Shall Inherit The Earth

Those who know, don’t talk; those who don’t, do all the talking; once you tell a secret it is no longer a secret.

 

DAVID BEN GURION
“Why should the Arabs make peace? If I was an Arab leader I would never make terms with Israel. That is natural: we have taken their country … There has been anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They only see one thing: we have come here and stolen their country. Why should they accept that? They may perhaps forget in one or two generations’ time, but for the moment there is no chance. So it is simple: we have to stay strong and maintain a powerful army”

RABBI HILLEL – 110 BCE – 10 CE
“If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am only for myself, what am I? If not now, when?”

HARRIET TUBMAN
“I freed a thousand slaves I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves.”

THOMAS JEFFERSON
“If the American People ever allow the banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers occupied. The issuing power of money should be taken from the bankers and restored to Congress and the people to whom it belongs. I sincerely believe the banking institutions having the issuing power of money are more dangerous to liberty than standing armies.We are completely saddled and bridled, and the bank is so firmly mounted on us that we must go where they ill guide.The dominion which the banking institutions have obtained over the minds of our citizens…must be broken, or it will break us.”

PRESIDENT LYNDON JOHNSON 1964
“Then listen to me Mr. Ambassador. Fuck your parliament and your constitution. America is an elephant, Cyprus is a flea, Greece is a flea. If these two feckless fleas continue itching the elephant they may get whacked by the elephant’s trunk, whacked good… We pay a lot of good American dollars to the Greeks Mr. Ambassador. If your Prime Minister gives me talk about democracy, parliament and the constitution, he, his parliament and his constitution may not last very long.’”

“No enlightened woman would dirty her hands by investing in diamonds. The emotional aspect of this trade is wearing thin. Your youth will reflect on it badly”

“People with little intelligence have great difficulty feeling stupid.”
